Kolkata Centre for Creativity organizes Ray: Speak through Graphic Design

Kolkata, Nov 3 (UNI) Kolkata Centre for Creativity is conducting a series of online talk
sessions - ‘Ray: Speak through graphic design’, on the occasion of Nobel laureate,
Indian film director, writer, illustrator and music composer Satyajit Ray’s centenary
celebration in 2020.
These talks broadly focus on Ray’s outstanding contribution in the field of graphic
designing and various other creative manifestations of the celebrated versatile genius
that brings up a comparative outlook between 21st century character and set designing
techniques that were prevalent during Ray's time.
The first edition of the series took place in the month of May, 2020 and Kolkata Centre
for Creativity will now be organising the fourth and final talk session of this series on
November 7 from 7:00 pm onwards on Zoom Webinar and Facebook.
This session is in collaboration with the Society for the Preservation of Satyajit Ray
Archives and the prestigious panel will have Ray’s son Sandip Ray who himself is a
Film Director & also the Member-Secretary of Ray Society, Soukarya Ghosal, Film
Director, Siladitya Sen, Film Critic & Essayist and the session will be moderated by
Riddhi Goswami, Assistant Professor, Heritage Institute of Technology & Member of
Ray Society.
The talk will focus on Ray’s dedication to frame his characters and how he gave
them life by sketching every scene of the film in his mind, the costumes, jewellery,
backdrop and setting for films like 'Pather Panchali', ‘Gupi Gain Bagha Bain’ and
‘Hirak Rajar Deshe’
The first three session of the Ray series brought to light the outstanding contribution
of Ray in the field of graphic designing with detailed discussion about various fields
including 'Cover designing', 'Illustrations', 'Calligraphy' and the entire gamut of artistic
endeavour related to different stories and writings.
One of the earlier session discussed Ray’s illustration of his own stories and the
usage of surreal depictions of hand painted motifs interplayed with playful lettering
and photo montages resembling a kind of pop art in Feluda, Professor Shanku,
Tarini Khuro, Bankubabur Bandhu, Mullah Nasiruddin, Fatik Chand among others.
The panellists for the past sessions were Debasish Deb, a well-known graphic
designer, Debasis Mukhopadhyay, Historian, researcher and a bibliophile, Pinaki
De, Graphic illustrator-designer and Ujjal Chakrabarty, Faculty member at Roop
Kala Kendra.
Many years after his death, the memory of Ray’s talent as a graphic designer is
not entirely lost, as his films carry on the legacy of a visual artist determined to
explore, in his words, “the half shades, the hardly audible notes” of human beings
and their relationships.
